Law enforcement officers targeted homes throughout the county, as well as a Kountze convenience store known for selling and distributing Synthetic Cannabinoids, or fake marijuana, Cain said.

Cain said he stands by his zero-tolerance policy on illegal drug activity in the area. He attributed residents' awareness and willingness to contact the Sheriff's Office as the front line of defense against illegal activity.
